Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Pekin, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pekin provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
